-The Google Nexus S has a lot of great features and is one of the best Android phones on the market. Let me clarify, one of the best. This phone is great if you have used Android before and are comfortable with customizing your phone on your own. It has one of the best AMOLED screens around, and huge display of 4 inches. The glass on the phone is curved as they thought this would adhere to your face the best, and it does. The phone feels great to hold, looks great but, has a few flaws we’ll talk about.

DESIGN

-The design of this phone is a unique one in that the display is curved slightly to fit better on your face during calls. The 4-inch, 400 X 800 AMOLED display puts out vibrant colors and gives the whole phone a really clean look. Since the phone has no physical buttons on the face, when it is turned off, it looks super sleek. The touch sensitivity is very responsive and didn’t record too many missed swipes or touches.

MULTIMEDIA

-The Nexus S is currently running a UI called Gingerbread. There are a lot of great speed upgrades from Froyo, but not a lot of noticeable differences in aesthetics. Text selection is a pretty big problem across the entire platform. It’s different in the messaging app, the browser, and e-mail. All very confusing to remember and we can’t wait to see this changed. It is running Android so the Android market is available to download plenty of 3rd party apps for you using pleasure.

-One other thing that Google changed, that not to many people were excited about, was the size of the letters in the text messaging app. The shrunk the overall height of them and made them skinnier. This is a bit of a baffling move seeing as how the Nexus S has a 4-inch screen! Sure you can install another keyboard, but it’s always nice for the manufacturer to get it right the first time.

-The camera takes good pictures but there is no option for shooting HD video. The highest available option is 720 X 480.

BATTERY LIFE

-The battery is pretty standard getting around 6 hours of talk time. You should be able to go a full day without needing a charge if you are normal user. If you play a lot of games, you might want to buy an extra battery or make sure you have a charger in your car.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

-One really cool additional feature is the NFC (Near Field Communication) chip. This would allow you to swap contacts with someone else who had this chip installed by just holding your phones close to each other. Or, if a store had a sign with this chip built in, you could hold your phone up to it and get information about the store or watch a video about it.

"Thanks again for the call this morning. As I mentioned during our phone conversation I was really pleased with how easy your system is to use. I am a DIY kind of person, and was able to send your company about 20 basic phones, fill out the very short form and shipping labels PaceButler provided me with without ever having to call your customer service line. That is very important to me since I don’t always have time to call and wait for a customer service rep. Plus your on-line pricing list made it that much easier for me to calculate what we would get back from your company for the phones. Also, your pricing seems to be very fair as you guys seem to offer the most for they types of devices we sold to you.

I usually get 1 to 2 calls from your company, and had never used you all until this year, so to say that your service was very easy and hassle free to use is kind of a big deal! But it was! Please let me know if I can help you with anything else."- Margarita Avila, Queen Anne Painting Co, Inc.,

"At first I was reluctant to spend a bunch of time packing up my outdated cell phones, since so many of these “deals” are bogus. But after I saw PaceButler’s ad in a travel magazine and then checked their website, I figured why not. I emailed PaceButler for instructions and the very next day received a kind email from Suzanne Whitson saying she’d send a prepaid FedEx label and would schedule pickup as soon as I emailed back the box was ready. After FedEx made the pickup, Suzanne emailed saying the pickup was complete, then when my cell phones arrived, she emailed the fact of their arrival. I’d absolutely recommend PaceButler and Suzanne Whitson’s outstanding customer service to anyone."- Robert P., Kimberling City, MO.,
